Master's Degree..

by X-treme

Hey everyone,

I'm currently in my 2nd of 4 years, at a Bscn level. I'm debating whether or not if I should apply to medical school or finish off with a masters, when I graduate. I know it may too early to be thinking of this, but I need to keep my options open.

For those of you who can help me out, is there any websites that would provide me information regarding jobs/pay/etc... by having a master's degree?

I was told by a teacher that once you have your masters you make the maximum amount of wage starting off. Is this true?

Thanks for any help!

What do you want to do? If you want to practice medicine then I suppose medical school would be the way to go. If you want to practice as a nurse practitioner or teach then Master's is the pathway.

It sounds as though you're motivated more by potential earnings than your own goals.

PS: Instructors say lots of things that don't jive with the real world.
